Directions:
1. Use the DNA code to create your mRNA code. Use the mRNA code to create your tRNA code.
2. Use the tRNA code and the chart on page 3 to determine your amino acids. Answer any
questions by circling the correct answer.

5. DNA is located in the (nucleus/cytoplasm)
6. (mRNA/rRNA) is used to carry the genetic code from DNA to the ribosomes.
7. (tRNA/rRNA) makes up the ribosome.
8. (DNA/RNA) uses uracil instead of thymine.
9. (RNA/amino) acids make up a protein.

11. Transcription takes place in the (nucleus/cytoplasm).
12. tRNA is used in (translation/transcription).
13. tRNA uses (anticodons/codons) to match to the mRNA.
14. Proteins are made at the (nucleus/ribosome).
15. (tRNA/mRNA) attaches the amino acids into a chain.
16. tRNA is found in the (nucleus/cytoplasm).
17. (Translation/Transcription) converts mRNA into a protein.
18. Translation takes place in the (cytoplasm/nucleus).
19. (DNA/RNA) can leave the nucleus.
20. (Translation/Transcription) converts DNA into mRNA.
